 OBJECTIVES

• The logical circuit which converts the binary code to equivalent gray

code is known as binary to gray code converter. 

• Binary Numbers is default way to store numbers, but in many applications binary
numbers are difficult to use and a variation of binary numbers is needed. This is
where Gray codes are very useful. 

• Gray code has property that two successive numbers differ in only one bit because
of this property gray code does the cycling through various states with minimal
effort and used in K-maps, error correction, communication etc.
THE GRAY CODE
 BINARY TO GRAY CODE CONVERSION

 The MSB in the gray code is the same as the corresponding MSB in the binary
number.
 Going from left to right, add each adjacent pair of binary code bits to get the next
gray code bit. Discard carries.
Convert 10110 to gray code
1+0+1+1+0 binary
| | | | |
1 1 1 0 1 gray
TRUTH TABLE
 PROGRAM
def convert_gray(binary):
binary = Int(binary, 2)
binary ^= (binary >> 1)
return bin(binary)[2:]
binary_num = input(“BINARY NUMBER : ”)
gray _code = convert_gray(binary_num)
print(“EQUIVALENT GRAY CODE IS: ”,gray_code)

OUTPUT:
BINARY NUMBER: 101100110
Gray codeword is: 111010101
 APPLICATIONS

• It is used in applications in which the normal sequence of binary numbers

generated by the hardware may produce an error or ambiguity during the
transition from one number to the next.

• The gray code eliminates his problem since one bit changes its values during
any transition between two numbers.

• Because of run-time typing, Python’s run time must work harder than Java`s.
Hence, is much better suited as a glue language.
 advantages
• The main benefit of using binary code is that it is simply signified through
electronic devices

• Binary data is also very simple to store.

• Very easy to signify & control electronically & mechanically.

• The disparity among representations of symbols can be increased so

error possibility can be reduced
 CONCLUSION

 This paper has introduced the review of reversible circuits and

reversible logic gates for realizing different code conveter like binary
to gray code converter.

 To represent digital circuits in SOP or POS form and to

reduce/optimize the digital circuits using expressions we need K-map.
So in K-map the encoding is done through gray coding instead of
binary code.
